Decorative Cookies

Cookies!!! Yes, the sugar is still coursing with our veins because Marian from Sweetopia provided a few of her tasty sugar as well as gingerbread cookies to the H&H office. Marian would never phone call herself a pro, however her baking as well as embellishing skills state otherwise. As an avid food blog reader, I had already been complying with her Sweetopia blog, so you can envision my enjoyment when I got my hands on a few of her treats. right here are a few shots of what the H&H women as well as I devoured:

Let’s begin with her sugar cookies. Buttery, thick as well as lightly crumbly, these were bliss. The thick layer of royal icing makes these cookies additional wonderful — ideal for those with a major wonderful tooth. Marian’s royal icing skills can be seen on the round cookie’s delicate grid pattern — I can’t even draw a line this directly with a pen! Her blog has a whole section on cookie embellishing tips, so perhaps I’ll try making these myself!

This shot shows you exactly how elaborate a few of these styles can get. as well as you may not notice in this photo, however the teapot cookie is the size of a little plate — ideal for sharing. If you’re a die-hard cookie decorator, you can get elegant with edible ink images, which is exactly how Marian accomplished the floral details on the teapot as well as cup.

This box was full of fresh Christmas gingerbreads. This is a recipe you’ll want to try if you like a thick chewy gingerbread packed with aromatic spices.

This picture from her blog shows that any type of style goes. Don’t let cookie cutter shapes limit your imagination — a round cookie is the ideal base for any type of icing decoration. These nautical-themed snacks are completely on-trend with our Cape Cod gallery. Cape Cod-themed backyard party, anyone?

For those of you searching for baking as well as embellishing tools, many specialty baking stores offer them, however I just recently discovered out that DeSerres provides a variety of cake embellishing tools, as well as with a number of places across Canada, you understand where I’ll be during my lunch break.

If you’re all about baking sweets, you’ll discover much more recipes as well as info about cupcakes, cakes as well as gingerbread homes on Sweetopia. Now, if you’ll reason me, I requirement to surface up these cookies before the rest of the office sees them.
